Community Robotics Education And Technology Empowerment

During may 2011 I had the opportunity to join project Kelluwen and I implemented a didactic unit in Language subject (spanish) with my students of the seventh grade (12 years old) at Teniente Hernán Merino Correa School in Valdivia, Chile. We formed several groups of 4-5 students each and each group worked reading a different tale, analizing the narrator types, the physics, psychological and social characteristics of the characters and the narrative space. It was very interesting for the students and me that they, organized in groups, had to represent a scene of the tale they read and analyzed. Each student was playing the role of one character and all the student within a group worked together to build scenery stuff. Each scene was taken in a panorama and then uploaded and linked to education.gigapan.org. Remarkable is the possibility of making zoom to the details that we use to ignore or use to be invisible in conventional photographs. Also, using snapshots, students made conversation and funny comments regarding the tale and the panorama session. For my students it was a very positive and unforgettable experience because it encouraged reading, team work and fellowship. Everyone collaborate within their groups for taking a good panorama. Also, they showed satisfied and proud when they saw the outcome of their work. published in Gigapan web site. I want to thank to Kelluwen and Gigapan Schools Dialogs projects to allow my students to reach learning in different subjects, interacting with innovative techologies in a very amusing, original and attractive way.
